Change noted in
genefal ed needs
If you are planning to fransfer

to Fresno State University or
any other state college or
university, there's something

new regarding general education
transfer requirements you ought

to know about.
Beginning next fall, students

planning

to transfer to

a

four-year California college or
university from City College are
required to take Political Science

1 and History 11 (presently
History 174) or History 12

(presently History 17B).
(At the present time, transferring students are iequirèd to
take either History 174 and 178
.or Political Science I and History
178.)

The change is being made fgr

trvo reasons. First, the college,

t. making the

adjustment,

into coiformance

with
history requirements at FSU for
lower-division baccalaureatecomes

degree study. Second, students
won't, as has been the case for
some students in the past, find
themselves studying state and
local government- twice,

State law mandates that
students study the U.S.

'Constitution, state and local
government, and U.S. history.
History 174, besides covering
U.S. history, also covers the
Oonstitution. History 178, along
with additional history, also

covèrs state and.local govern-

ment. However, so does Political

Science

l.

Students, therefore,

who took the Political Science
l/History 178 sequence, found
themselves going over state.and

local government twice.
Please note: History 1?A will
change (in title only!) to History
11 next fall and History 1?B to

History 12.

respect, he has stated specifically to this writer that he has "been leaning to the
administration in the past," but to this date, no change has occurred in his
attitudes or his direction of activiùy.
Butthen, we realize that this is "all because of the Senate," or so Mata has said.
lVhen Richard Mata attacks the Senate, he then gets into some tricky territory
which needs to be dealt with.

As'the semester draws to a close, the senators find they could be stuck with an
embarrassing record of accomplishing nothing. Removing an ASB. president
seems like a pqpulàr achievement, but won't produce results to the Senate's
demands.
The gist of the case against Mata is that he is''selling them o¡t'] in favor of the

turned down by the administration. At the same time as Mata was trying to get
movies, the Senate was attempting ùo find out what the :'district policiés" that
rule us actually are.

But an interesting thing is that while the Senate approved Richard Mata's
proposals, and supported the same, he has turned around and given no support to
the Senate in its proposals.

For examples of this, I refer you to some more recent ¿ctions. Mata has
received Several bills from the Senate, such as legal aid, newspapers, etc. In
almost all cases, Mata has not signed the legislation.

To understand the imp'act of this, let me explain. The ASB Constitution states
that theþresident has one week to approve or veto (disapprove) by signature any
legislation by the Senate. However, should he fail to sign, the legislation is
automatically approved after one week. But Mata does not sign these.
Instead, he states that although he agrees with the legislation he eannot sign it.
When pressed for his reasons, he merely states he can't sign it.
At a time when a unified student government and body is vitally necessary to
insure that students receive the services they currently get, Richard Mata loses
track of wh<i elected him. Constantly, he says, "Hey, I'm responsible to the
STUDËNTS, not that Senate down there." Yet, his actions show the opposite. In
fact,. he has, às I've already stated, said that he is leaning towards the
administration's way of thinking.
A consensus of the Student Senate will undoubtedly reveal.tlie opinion that
Richard Mata is an "administration llunkie." If students were aware of what went
on in Senate meetings by attending, I'm sure the same conclusion could be

Meeting problems are apparently not Mata's alone. Two weekò ago, the Senate
was forced to cancel its regular meeting for lack of a quorum.
If the Senate feels betrayed by their chief executive, it maf stem from
professional jealousy, after realizing thrit Mata and his people are able to work
with the admihistration to implement their programs. As Mata puts it, "It has
been my responsibility, not choice, to work in collaboration with" the
administration to help achieve certain programs and proposals...It is a case of

practical cooperation."
Many senators are demanding more control over student progïams and monies.
They feel Mata stands between them and their goals. But the Senate doesn't know
where they stand, or in this case, sit. The Senate must first realize that
management holds the trump cards and the rest of the deck as well. Everything
done by ASB is subject to administrative approval. This seems to be a weak
position for some of our powér-hungry senators.
Althqugh the Senate has some legitimate complaints with the district's policies,
'positive student action is doubtful. Working together hasn't bee¡ one of the
Senate attributes. Of a half dozen appointed committees, only one, the
Bicentennial, shows signs of life, and nci committee has realized any of its goals so
far this semester, their ,meetings, motions, and memorandums have only

reached.
Of course, as a closing note, we need to see concrete proof of his ineffectiveness,
we have to look at what the Senate and thestudents are waiting for him to do, and
what the Constitution is waiting for him to do: appoint a constiùutional appeals

committee. This body would be able to say whether or not what Richard Mata

In the eyes of the district, ASB is providing .a useful function. The Senate
budgets the money derived from student body card sales. Without, an ASB, funds
for sports and other student activities woultl have to be collected and doled out in

other ways. In at least one respect the ASB cán be considered a district

convenience.

Operating at the pleasure of the district, the ASB could be dissolved if the
board of trustees decided that that student government was more trouble than
ít's worth.
Ousting Mata isn't the answer to the Senate dilemma. The dissidents are
barking up the wrong tree.
